What they did while I was away...
















While I was walking the 3 Day, Jeremy and the kids were having all kinds of fun. The first night I talked to them, Jeremy said, I am so tired. I just cleaned the kitchen and I don't even want to use it to make dinner. It was good for him I think to see how much work goes into taking care of the kids, house, etc... They did have fun though! When they were not out cheering me and the other walkers on with stickers and spray bottles, they had a tea party for 2 of Sophie's friends(check out the sandwiches), went to the RenCen and played in the sprinklers, and played on Sophie's schools new playground.

The Breast Cancer 3 Day!
















This August, during the hottest weekend of the summer, I walked in the Breast Cancer 3 Day! 60 Miles in 3 days! It was challenging, inspiring, hot, exhausting, exhilirating, among many other things. I met a new friend and challenged myself. I am happy to say that I finished all 60 miles which was my goal and helped find a cure to breast cancer.

Maggie's Photo Shoot













A did a photo shoot with my niece Maggie to practice my photography skills. I would still like to get a new camera and take a class but some of these turned out pretty cute. Here are a few favorites.


Train Rides at the Park








During a friends birthday party this summer, we were able to ride the rails at a local park. This volunteer group sets up trains and steamers and for a small optional donation gives people rides. The kids love it!

Traverse City Fun





































We went up to the Traverse City area again for our annual trip with the Sever's. The weather cooperated although it wasn't really warm enough to hang out on the beach. That didn't seem to stop Sophie as her and Jeremy jumped in the freezing cold Lake Michigan. We also brought the kids cherry picking, swimming, wine tasting aka sparkling juice, and visited some friends of the Sever's that have 2 lambs as pets. It was neat to see them just run free by us like 2 dogs. Here are some pics from our trip.
